MedlinePlus makes trusted, reliable health information easily accessible in a
variety of formats, including widgets and buttons. The instructions below
describe how to embed the widgets and buttons on your own Web site.

Widgets

Widgets are small applications that allow you
to access MedlinePlus content directly from your own Web sites. You can
embed the following widgets in blogs, personalized homepages, and other Web
sites. Once you embed the widget on your site, MedlinePlus takes care of the
technical maintenance and updates the content automatically.

Search Cloud Widget

The search cloud widget displays the most frequently searched terms on MedlinePlus. This widget is usually updated each week, and it is a smaller version of the full-sized MedlinePlus search cloud.

Search Box Widgets

We welcome you to place the MedlinePlus search box on your Web site as long as you clearly identify the box as belonging to MedlinePlus, display the search results in their own window (not in a frame), use the exact search code provided below, and link the word MedlinePlus to the MedlinePlus homepage (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/).

Buttons

You can use the following buttons to link to the MedlinePlus on your own Web site. The corresponding code for each button appears directly beneath the image. Paste the desired HTML code directly into your page.
